In this segment of the video, the protagonist learns that Raya is a serpent, leading to revelations about Volcano Manor. Raya shares that she has been hearing noises and saw something slithering into the next room, suspecting another serpent. She requests the protagonist to investigate further. The protagonist discovers an area filled with lava and hostile man-serpents, learning from an item (man-serpent ashes) that these creatures originated when an elder serpent devoured a demigod.
After defeating the godskin apostle, the protagonist obtains the serpent’s amnion, which confirms Raya’s suspicions about her birth. She expresses gratitude and a desire to reconnect with Lady Tanith, whom she once viewed as her mother. It becomes clear that Tanith is not her birth mother. Raya later reveals she was born from a repellent ritual, not of grace, shedding light on the mysterious origins of her existence.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on Raya’s quest and the different paths it can take. Raya feels unaccepted and asks to be killed to avoid bringing shame to Lady Tanith or the manor. The quest can end in three ways: killing Raya, speaking with Tanith to receive a tonic of forgetfulness, or refusing to kill her. Regardless of the choice, the quest concludes with the reward of the Dagger’s Woe talisman, linked to a woman named Datacar, who indulged in extreme adultery and gave birth to grotesque children, implying she was Raya’s mother. This segment explores the origin of the man-serpents, tied to an unholy act involving the god-devouring serpent and Praetor Reichard, and discusses why they are confined to Mount Gelmir. Despite her origins, Lady Tanith genuinely regards Raya as her daughter, protecting her from her past. Raya’s unique existence highlights her difference from the man-serpents, being born not to fight but nurtured by an adoptive mother who cherished her.
